Inalab Consulting, Inc.

Inalab Consulting, Inc. (doing business as Inalab Group), a Fairfax, Virginia–based SBA Certified 8(a) Program Participant and minority-owned small business, operates as a prime contractor (99% of recent awards) delivering IT infrastructure support, software development, scientific computing, cybersecurity technical support, and professional services across federal civilian and defense agencies. The company is a Subcontinent Asian American–owned Subchapter S corporation competing predominantly under the 8(a) set-aside category, though recent activity shows increasing competitive (non-set-aside) full-and-open awards as Inalab scales its footprint on major government-wide vehicles.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward the Department of the Interior (DOI). The U.S. Geological Survey's Office of Acquisitions and Grants anchors the portfolio with 89 awards ($68.5 million combined potential value), while DOI Fish and Wildlife Service Region 9 represents 25 awards ($86.5 million combined potential value) across IT services, accessibility compliance, and ecosystems application support tasks. Together, these two DOI entities account for the plurality of award volume. However, the potential-value ranking reveals a divergence: GSA Federal Acquisition Service leads dollars at $50.01 billion across 6 awards (all major-vehicle placements), and the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health NITAAC Office ranks second at $40 billion across 2 awards. The Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration contributes $1.01 billion across 9 awards. This gap between award count and dollar concentration reflects Inalab's heavy reliance on the USGS for task-order volume but increasing exposure to multi-billion-dollar government-wide and large defense programs.

Inalab holds prime positions on three major government-wide vehicles. The $48 million single-award Competitive 8(a) IDIQ with USGS (September 1, 2022–September 1, 2027) has generated 88 task orders ($20.5 million combined value) covering scientific data platform development (ScienceBase cloud migration and development), geomagnetic software and data services, earthquake-response systems (ShakeCast, National Earthquake Information Center development), bioscience database migration, systems administration (Linux, Windows, VMware), and technical science and infrastructure support. The OASIS+ Total Small Business (OASIS+SB) multiple-award IDIQ, awarded December 19, 2024, through December 18, 2029, carries a $999,999,999,999 ceiling and is reserved for small businesses; Inalab has received 5 task orders totaling $68.2 million, with significant recent awards including a $33.7 million Defense Health Agency delivery order (September 15, 2024) for oversight and strategic planning support under Competitive 8(a) rules. A $50 billion 8(a) STARS III GWAC vehicle has yielded 3 task orders ($16.3 million combined value) including a $12.3 million Air Force Materiel Command IT Desktop Support Maintenance contract (August 2, 2023–February 2, 2029). The General Services Administration's Multiple Award Schedule vehicle carries 26 task orders ($124.7 million combined value) spanning IT services and professional services to civilian agencies. Inalab also holds a single-award $70 million Partial Small Business BPA with DOI Fish and Wildlife Service (December 1, 2021–November 30, 2026) and a $14.1 million Section 508 compliance support BPA with the Department of the Interior's Office of the Chief Information Officer (July 21, 2023–July 20, 2028). Most recently, Inalab was awarded a prime position on the Missile Defense Agency's $151 billion Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) multiple-award IDIQ (December 29, 2025–December 28, 2035) for R&D, prototyping, systems engineering, and defense acquisition across air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid threat domains.

Activity has grown steadily—19 awards in 2022, 21 in 2023, 34 in 2024, 24 in 2025, and 23 in 2026 to date—reflecting expanding market presence and vehicle participation. Forty-two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months with combined potential value of $51.8 million, representing moderate recompete exposure concentrated in USGS task orders and Fish and Wildlife Service BPA calls. The profile by NAICS shows concentration in 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services, 98 awards) and 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services, 24 awards), aligned with the vendor's core IT and software-development footprint.

SCI-reported invoicing reached $16.1 million in FY2024 across 99.2 FTEs, up from $9.7 million across 32.1 FTEs in FY2022, signaling rapid workforce scaling on federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold. Median government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable contracts run around $95.89/hr, with rates ranging from a 10th percentile of $53.70/hr to a 90th percentile of $140.99/hr. The GSA Schedule labor portfolio spans 51 categories priced from $41.11/hr (Production Assistant I) to $305.23/hr (Cybersecurity Subject Matter Expert V), with no security-cleared positions, indicating civilian IT and administrative capability orientation. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subs performed an average 11% of total contractor hours, with 29 named subcontractors including Seneca Global Services LLC (tribally owned 8(a) small business), Emerge Solutions Group LLC (service-disabled veteran-owned 8(a) small business), Communications Research & Technologies International LLC (8(a) certified minority-owned), DSD Laboratories Inc. (woman-owned small business), Redwood Strategy Group Inc. (EDWOSB and 8(a) certified), Nisga'A Tek LLC (Alaska Native Corporation), and ITA International LLC (service-disabled veteran-owned). This sub-engagement pattern reflects Inalab's role as a prime integrator drawing on partner capacity for specialized technical and compliance work rather than building an entirely proprietary delivery model.

Recent awards through July 2026 show continued expansion into geomagnetic and scientific computing domains (East Coast Magnetotelluric Data Collection $858 thousand, March 2, 2026; GEOMAG EDGE Developer $321 thousand, February 6, 2026), bioscience application maintenance (multiple $41–$385K orders through 2026), and infrastructure support (VMware administration, Linux administration, IT infrastructure support spanning $111–$527K orders). The Competitive 8(a) set-aside posture remains dominant in USGS and DOE task orders, but full-and-open competitive and 8(a) sole-source awards are increasing as Inalab qualifies for larger programs. The vendor's $96.64 billion combined potential value across 198 awards is heavily skewed by vehicle-ceiling placeholders (SHIELD at $151 billion, OASIS+SB at $999.99 trillion, HHS NIH NITAAC at $40 billion), with actual obligated dollars of $153.6 million representing a 0.16% utilization rate—a typical pattern for newly awarded government-wide contracts and large IDIQs early in their performance periods.
